Malicious OF Mislnformed.

The ST. Louis Globe Democrat contains
an article on education in the South when
would seem to indicate that 1t either malt
ciously misrepresents the situation or Is
far from being educated" regarding this
section. IL says, among other things:
"Perhaps there is time coming when
the South, having parted with her super.
stitions and opened her eyes IN the fact
that popular education Il the best OF polit'
cal and social safeguards, will acknowledge
With proper thsnkfulness the service done
her by the North In this connection"
The South long since opened her eyes to
the fact that popular education il the best
Of political and social safeguards. The
proof is found In the willingness OF the
whites Of the South 70 be taxed 10 educate
the negroes, who were made voters by the
Republican party with the expectation that
their ignorance would keep them chained
forever TO the Radical Juggernaut. AS
thanking the North for what she has con-
tributed to education in the South, that has
been done on all proper occasions.
